making knots with sticks
My three seem happy on the kitchen windowsill, thank you. Got flowers on the biggest one and have been doing what I think will make the chillies come, little brush between flowers... pretending to be a beeChilles are being furiously distributed to all and sundry, yet are still overfilling the windowsill. Greenhouse also full down allotment. Have got full on early flowers on a handful of plants now, with others carrying plenty of buds.
My herbs on the back sill are drying out something terrible, so am trying the trick of sticking an inverted wine bottle full of water in the container so soil stays moist - hope it works, and the soil isn't too wet for them. My thyme was doing so well!
Three plants out the front are loving it, silver posie thyme, lavender and black pepper mint... growing so quickly. I might have an issue with the mint though. I put a divider in the window box, but it has set off about four creepers and has double in size in the last week...
Is there anything I can do? Chop off the creeping bits? Or is best just to move it to its own pot?
It's trying to get into the house!
